I just finished "Destiny of the Republic" by Candice Millard on my Kindle and rank it as one of my top ten best books. A history but more a medical/crime thriller about a tragic assassination attempt on President Garfield.

What I meant to say was that we are going on a road trip to the Blue Ridge area of Virginia within the next week.
